Hi everyone,
I am in the North West of Northern Ireland. I am running real-time tracking of every satellite (active & inactive), piece of debris and rocket body pushed out by USSTRATCOM (over 13000 objects). According to this data, the skies above me should be clear most of the time, but I am observing a continuous stream of satellites coming from various directions.
We have very little air-traffic here (maybe about 6-10 per day) and I run ADS-B so I can see all aircraft up to the horizon. I can confirm it is not this.
>From the density, it would look like its part of a constellation, but I cannot rule out satellites being moved in orbit. At times, there could be 3-4 practically right above me some heading east-to-west and others in polar orbits. They are pretty bright and fast, so my guess is that they are LEO. Some are slower and fainter, so I am assuming the are in MEO.
Anyone else seen something similar?
Regards,
Mark McCarron
